About this map

Quinn and Terre Haute anchor this rural landscape in north-central Missouri, where the boundary between Putnam Co and Sullivan Co divides the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Locust Creek and Brush Creek, which cut through the rolling topography. Smaller tributaries like Badger Branch, Rooks Branch, and Johnson Branch create a complex pattern of ridges and hollows that dictate the placement of local thoroughfares such as Mo-Ee and the many numbered township roads.

Local family history is preserved at Parsons Cemetery near Quinn and Sprigg Cemetery to the northwest. This map illustrates a modern rural infrastructure where old crossroads settlements like Midway persist alongside specialized routes like PSF Medicine Road. The layout of these roads and the scattered placement of historic cemeteries provide a clear picture of the long-standing land-use patterns and community nodes that have shaped this border region of Putnam and Sullivan counties.
